Hi All,

I'll be swapping out the intake manifold on my 1969 F250 360 ci. the cast iron manifold has developed a leak on the backside causing oil to drip onto the exhaust.

I have the following parts for the swap:
- Gaskasinch
- "The right stuff" from Napa Auto
- Gaskets for the intake ports
- Valve cover gaskets
- Intake manifold bolts (Edelbrock set)

What I need to know is what are the torque specs for the intake manifold bolts as well as the rocker assembly bolts? Also, if you could let me know if there are any additional parts I'd need to finish this up, please let me know.

 

Here ya go....

^ I remember the search for the coolant fitting on my old 390 when I deleted the old carb base and intake. nice posting that as it's not something you'd think of until your in the middle of working on it.

 

Washers on the mount bolts so their heads won't gall in to the aluminum.
Phenolic spacer or thick gasket between carb and intake.

 

Thanks for the help guys. I've installed the new intake manifold. Wow what a difference in weight. I lifted the old one out by myself, but now I know why a cherry picker is recommended!

 

Thanks for the tip on this! I have it on order. It will be nice to clean-up the hoses. I removed the stock (Heated) carb spacer in favor of a composite spacer.

 

An Eddy air cleaner on top of a Holley carb. I Love It!

 

Intake is sweet on there. Engine looks nice from what I see of it.

 

Cool beans! 'Glad you could use it.

I spent a few hours looking for the dern thing and ended up in a Mustang catalog so enjoy your pain-free assistance from the Brotherhood of Bumpsides!
